Art During Metafex

As well as theatre, music and cabaret, there will be a lot of art during Metafex. including an exhibition by the original community from the 491 gallery in Leytonstone, who are back together after seven years for this one off exhibition as part of the Metafex experience. 491 is the experiment that sowed the seeds for The Art Organisation's genesis. It was also supported by Ken Campbell.

At the Wolstenholme Project at 8pm on Friday the 14th of November, there will be a performance of Fellow Voyager by the PAC with an artist talk to be given afterwards. They ask "How do we build character? What is the 'Uber Marionette'? What is presence? What is absence?" On that Friday, The School of Night will be performing at 7, then there will be a benefit party for Mellomello's heating system after Fellow Voyager, so it's a packed night of entertainment.

There will also be meals strategically placed throughout the festival at Mellomello - these will involve readings from plays and also from Pontifex, the inspiration for the whole thing.

Also, as Metafex is entirely unfunded, we are asking for donations. We'll be taking them at every show and workshop, apart from the shows that are ticketed - the Oh Wait impro marathon, mainly. Or you can donate online by Paypal, here's a button thing:
